Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
As legend has it, Rome was founded in 753 B.C. by Romulus and Remus, twin sons of Mars, the god of war. They had been left to drown in a basket on the Tiber River by a king of a nearby region and were rescued by a she-wolf. The twins lived to defeat that king and founded their city on the river's banks in 753 B.C. After killing his brother, Romulus became the first king of Rome, which is named after him. A line of Sabine, Latin, and Etruscan (earlier Italian civilisations) kings followed in a non-hereditary succession.
Rome's era as a monarchy ended in 509 B.C. with the overthrow of its seventh king, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, whom ancient historians portrayed as cruel and tyrannical, compared to his benevolent predecessors. Rome has now turned from a monarchy into a republic.
The power of the monarch passed to two annually elected magistrates called consuls. They also served as commanders-in-chief of the army. The magistrates, though elected by the people, were largely the descendants of the original senators from the time of Romulus. In 450 B.C., the first Roman law code was inscribed on 12 bronze tablets-known as the Twelve Tables—and publicly displayed in the Roman Forum. These laws included issues of legal procedure, civil rights, and property rights and provided the basis for all future Roman civil laws. By around 300 B.C., real political power in Rome was centered in the Senate.

Question:
What is the passage mainly about?

Option 1: The Republic of Rome

Option 2: The history of Rome

Option 3: The Roman code of law

Option 4: Roman myths and legends

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: The history of Rome


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation: It covers the founding of Rome by Romulus and Remus, the transition from a monarchy to a republic, the role of consuls, the creation of the Roman law code (the Twelve Tables), and the shift of political power to the Senate. While it does touch upon Roman myths and legends regarding the city's foundation, the primary focus is on the historical events that shaped Rome's governance and societal structure over time.

Therefore, the correct answer is the history of Rome.

Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
Every word and every line / in the works of John Keats / express his appreciation / of nature's beauty.

Option 1: express his appreciation

Option 2: in the works of John Keats

Option 3: Every word and every line

Option 4: of nature's beauty

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: express his appreciation


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation: The error lies in the subject-verb agreement. The word "every" is used as a singular noun form, and it is followed by a singular verb. Therefore, the verb "express" should be in the singular form, which is "expresses", which means to convey or communicate a thought, feeling, or idea.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Every word and every line in the works of John Keats expresses his appreciation of nature's beauty.
